TxDOT provides winter road preparations, important closures, and projects across El Paso
El Paso, TX (KVIA-TV)-The population of Texans age 65 and older is growing faster than any other age group in the state. According to TX Dot El Paso, age alone doesn't predict driving ability, but for most of us, age-related declines in physical and mental abilities can increase the risk of a crash. Lauren Macias-Cervantes, with TX Dot El Paso, joins us with more on this and other important topics.
